Zap came out with a blunt nose shape the fish before exile even became a company

the fish came out after chia and I had been riding blunt nosed boards in contests etc for years, and looks nothing like a blunt nosed exile nor an egg. Plus it was developed to capitalize on the surfboard fish fad of the time (seemingly) while taking advantage of the fact that you can squeeze more boards onto a sheet of foam if you make them short and stubby (it was a very cheap board).

I have nothing against Zap. I think they are a good company full of good people. I don't think they "ripped me off", but I do know what came first.
